    Anybody have any other recommendations for low cal blended frappucinos? Thanks!

    • Grace

      The caramel light is really good! But you have to ask for no whip and no caramel drizzle. A venti has only 190, which isn’t bad for a huge one (plus my kids drink at least a quarter of it anyway haha)

  2. Tarah

    I have a coupon for a free pastry at the Target Starbucks, Think this works for Starbucks in target too? Would be a nice cheap late afternoon treat!

    • Chelsey

      My Target Starbucks said they would have this deal too!

      • Heather

        yes, the Target ones do it too!!!

        • Tarah

          yay! Thank you!

  3. debbie campbell

    The mocha light is really good.

    • kelly

      I just had it and it was horrible!! No taste whatsoever!

  4. MCouzens

    Great option Collin, thanks! I would have never thought to get a coffee frappuccino.

  5. Susie

    Does anyone know what makes it light? I’m allergic to sweeteners, so I’m wondering if that’s the difference.

    • Brittany

      I think it’s because it has no whipped cream on it. It is likely just coffee, milk, and sugar, whereas the others have caramel or chocolate in it. Their website may give you more info. 🙂

      • J

        Yeah, the whipped cream is the worst part of the drink. And you really don’t miss it when it’s not there!

        • kelly

          No, not true. It is light because they use fat free creamer and no sugar at all. Its pretty gross.

    • Cindy

      I’m pretty sure they contain sugar substitutes like Splenda in the light versions. Maybe you can call your nearest Starbucks and ask. If anything, you can get a regular one and ask them to cut down the number of syrup pumps, whipped cream and use lowfat milk instead to make it a bit healthier.

      • Laura

        They taste “off” to me so I’d be shocked if they didn’t contain an artificial sweetener.

        • Cindy

          Yeah, I’ve had them before and they tasted like they had Splenda in them. They still have a lot of sugar in them, so I assume it’s a sugar/Splenda mix.

    • Susie

      Thanks all! It looks like they are made with Stevia – which doesn’t have aspartame so I’m good to go 🙂

    • min

      I can’t remember what all is in the mix, but but the light mix is not the same as the regular mix. The others are right that it doesnt come with whip but it is also a different mix. You can ask them to see the box that contains the light mix, because it will show the ingredients! I worked at a starbucks several years ago (=

    Does this promotion apply to the Starbucks inside a Target?

    • Teresa

      Yes

  7. tracy

    im not worried about calories. but im 22 so i guess i dont have to be right now ha. i only get the venti size. the green tea frapp is AMAZING!

    • Maria M

      I absolutely love the Green Tea frappuccino, a favorite for sure! I always want to try something new when I go but end up with my favorite! I really want to try the Caramel Crunch one!

  8. guest24

    Are the Frappucino’s only cold?

    • guest24

      I just called Starbucks…. They are ALL cold….. Pooey.

  9. nicole

    love the chai tea frappucino!

  10. Adrienne J

    The Hazelnut Frapp is awesome too!!!!

  11. Amie

    Actually I’d double check because I always thought the light also used artificial sweetners? Because there really is a huge difference in calories for the regular and the light and I can taste a difference in the drink itself. I am for one going with a tall coffee frap as I am watching my calories!

  12. corinne

    The light fraps are made with artificial sweeteners, I learned the hard way, I got so sick.

  13. Cindy

    It’s easy to cut down the calories, but the amount of sugar in them is what’s hard. You can get sugar-free syrup that has Splenda in it or go for fewer syrup pumps. Anyhow, I’m gonna go for one today regardless! I haven’t had one in a longggg time. 🙂

  14. Teresa

    The Mocha coolie crumble was not good , but the Caramel ribbon crunch was great!
    We got them at Target. YAY

    • chels

      omg the caramel ribbon crunch is my new fav!! so much better than the regular caramel one. i love the extra caramel kick!

  15. Yogagirl1980

    The light versions use artificial sweeteners, so just request no whip and use skim milk. It really helps!

  16. Lorna

    I always tend to order my fave tall mocha light which is about 130cal. I think I’ll try the coffee one next

  17. ritzyoo

    Mine cost $1.65 (not $1.48). Did the gal ring it up wrong?

  18. PrincessSiti

    Is open to all Starbucks right ??
